RSSJuvenile Intervention Support Center
The Juvenile Intervention Support Center (JISC) is a pilot program that uses a multi-disciplinary approach and interagency partnerships to provide prevention and intervention services to help youth arrested for low level misdemeanor offenses and youth at risk for juvenile justice system involvement. Through case management and supportive services, the JISC supports participants on their pathway to become successful members of society, while reducing both the levels of juvenile crime and juvenile recidivism.
JISC services are available to all charged youth, ages 10 - 16 years, and 17 years olds who have been charged with misdemeanors only, arrested in six Chicago police districts (districts 2, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 21) and processed at the Juvenile Intervention Support Center (JISC).
The JISC was developed in coordination with the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services, the Chicago Police Department, Chicago Public Schools, Cook County State’s Attorney Office, Chicago Public Defender's Office and Chicago Metropolis 20/20.
